Chapter 14

It was now officially almost a week since Kenma came to Kuroo's apartment.

It has also been a week since Kenma last cried.

Kuroo shared everything with him, his clothes, his bed, all his stuff.

Kenma wasn't the type to take everything that was given to him, so he felt a bit guilty that Kuroo was doing everything and he did nothing. Soon Kenma started helping with chores and making food. So it was all good.

Thursday came quickly and Kenma had to work, Kuroo had promised him to come with him into work and help.

"I will have to ask the manager first, you know?" Kenma said as he put on a shirt.

"I know, I know. I am sure he will agree. I won't ask for money or anything"

Winter break was coming and the cafe got crowdier, since Kenma doesn't have a lot of stamina, Kuroo had decided that he should help that poor, fragile boy. Well, the truth was, he just wanted to be by Kenma's side.

They both got ready and walked to the living room. To Kenma's surprise, there was another person in thr apartment. It was Kuroo's father.

"Good day, Mr. Tetsurou" Kenma said, Kuroo's dad waved "hi" and continued watching TV. He probably hoped that Kuroo would say "Hi" aswell, but he didn't.

It was cold. The temperature had dropped below 0°C , but sadly there was no snow.
Kenma tried hiding his hands in his pockets, but it was still cold. Upon seeing that, Kuroo took off one glove and handed it to Kenma, at first Kenma was confused, but still put it on. Kuroo took Kenma's hand that wasn't with the glove, warming it up.

Their hands fit together like two puzzle pieces. And soon Kenma didn't feel any cold, all he felt was this weird feeling in his stomach and his burning cheeks.

Looking from someone else's point, it looked like Kuroo and Kenma were a couple (they basically are but whatever).

The Cafe was reached in no time and Kenma gestured Kuroo to stay and wait, while he talks to the manager. About 10 minutes later Kenma walked out, holding two name tags.

"Tetsurou" and "Kozume".

The Cafe for once was crowdy. People were going in and out, fortunately, it was the type of people who liked reading or were just plain quiet. So the Cafe wasn't loud.

Kuroo got the hang of being a waiter pretty fast and left Kenma to work at the counter, making tea and stuff like that.

Many girls who came to the cafe often were surprised by the new waiter, but happy. I mean who wouldn't want a tall and gorgeous boy talking to them.

The day seemed to drag slowly. It felt like Kuroo had been working for 7 hours when it had been only 2.

Just as he thought that he could get a free minute a voice startled him.

"Yo, Kuroo, what are you doing here?"

His best friend, Bokuto Koutarou, was in the cafe with a guy that Kuroo had seen around school.

"Hey, Akaashi" Kenma said as he magically appeared beside Kuroo.

"Hey.. " Akaashi, once again, seemed tired and sleep deprived.

"Go and find the table, we will come soon" Kenma said and ran off somewhere, possibly to the manager in order to ask him for a short break.

Kuroo looked at his friend. Now that he knew that it was Akaashi, he could understand why Bokuto talked about him so much. He was just as he had described him. Tall, thin, pale and...cold.
